Chương 6: Self Doubt, Introspection + I got a patreon!

Well, now that a day has past and I've had a decent sleep… I feel like slapping my younger self. There was no need to drag that out so long. I could have just blown the tires on the van and then used my super strength to beat them up. The knife guy wasn't at that location at the time, so I could have saved him easily. So instead I caused a ton of property damage and sort of just left it to a teenager. Hero or not I shouldn't have just left. It was irresponsible, and stupid. I did get to meet with one of the heroes of this universe at least. I'm kind of worried about leaving my space currently. Could be seen by a cop or something. But I did find it interesting that both my shield bubbles I had bought had returned to my space.

Still… why was I so reckless I left a teenager to deal with them. Yes a hero, but also a teenager who hasn't experienced enough of the world. Same with spider man, sure he can make massive progress and is a great hero. But he's still just a kid. Not even 21 years old yet. Meanwhile, I am just lazing around with enough power to change the world at my fingertips and I am working as slowly as possible.

Then… what do I do? Can't go around being a hero yet. I don't have the abilities nor nearly enough plot armor for that. I think I have a decent amount of plot armor thanks to my interaction with Parker, but his plot armor is pretty weak regarding other people. I probably got more plot armor from my interaction with Tony than Parker.

In that case I need something to increase my survival ability. To do that I need points. But value included, as buy value allows me to forcefully change the… wait.

"System how much buy value is required to purchase a legal identity."

You are joking. Your telling me I could have a avoided all the pain I was dealing with for only 20 bucks? You serious?

I proceeded to spend the next minute screaming into my pillow.

Am I stupid? Well… no. I don't think I am stupid. I just don't take in all the factors. Which is a massive flaw I know. It's just.. I am presented with tons of information at once. I mean my shops are thousands of pages long with items I haven't even heard of priced in the hundreds. Of which I don't buy, cause I have no clue what they are. I mean seriously what do I do. Read thousands up on millions of words to get how it all works? I don't have that ability. Yet. The knowledge powers are pretty expensive.

Atleat I got this mask. Even though it only just barely keeps my identity a secret. I should probably take it off before I leave. Can't believe I slept with it on. Well… that is frustrating. It has a massive crack in it. Wonder when I cracked it.

Who knows. I can't remember getting hit. Actually no. That crack has a knife mark. That is when the dude almost took my head out in one strike.

Ah. Well. Let's buy an identity.

A bunch of papers appear on my desk. A birth certificate, social security identity, and many more. All filled out.

"Is this filed in the government systems as well?"

[Yes.]

So I have an identity. Even got a digital bank account. Let's get in contact with the other devs and let them know the storefront is almost ready to launch. Let's also finish working on my Sci Fi RTS game.

Let's call it… Fall of the Empire. Since you are playing as a small pirate fleet against a massive empire. You conquer worlds and build bases to gather resources and each battlefield works like it does in Command and Conquer Kane's Wrath. Except on a universal scale. Turn based strategy mixed with real time strategy. This makes campaigns really long, but it is generally a fun game. Lots of designs and upgrades with plenty of lore.

The physics engine in it is also a beast. Giving the ability to see an entire planet get destroyed by a tier 9 planet destroyer. Course it also ramps up in difficulty over time as the Empire tries harder and harder to get rid of you. But then other factions start forming such as the Rebellion and other Pirates who want to take a bite out of the empire. You win by either instilling a fear value 80% or by conquering the Empire. Once you win you get the new game plus option to play as the Empire. Then you get the experience of having to fight an enemy that just won't die. You win that one by achieving a policing value of 80%. Meaning technically neither force has to eradicate each other. Which brings us to new game plus plus. In which you play as a devouring swarm of bioships who arrive to destroy everyone and the everything. That last one is a lot more difficult than you would think.

This means I got around 4 PC games ready. Halo Reach, Half Life 2, Call of Duty, and Fall of an Empire. Four massive triple A size games made by one person in the span of a few days

"System I need to change my exit to a alley near my apartment."

"Do it."

[Complete.]

That confirms it. Buy Value is used to manipulate aspects of the world. Basically encompassing the saying money makes the world go round. That means buy value is more valuable than I thought. So I should attach prices to my stuff… how about 20. I don't have to deal with inflation yet so 20 bucks per sale will likely net me a decent amount of buy value. I will leave my space tonight so I am not suspicious. I have a pretty decent excuse for it with my papers here. I can say I picked up my papers and went looking to see what jobs I wanted all night. If anyone asks me that is. For now let's work more on the website.
